| Seriously, who are you? |
I am just your average joe-ette. I worked most of my life at silly part-time jobs and one career that I really loved. However, times change and I no longer fit in that world so I've gone back to my childhood love - writing.
I am married and have kids. My children are the greatest thing I will ever do/have a part of. What a miracle kids are, even if you want to throttle them because they frustrating the crap out of you. (I have teenagers.) But seriously, I love my kiddos. I also love my hubby - he is often the inspiration behind my male characters.
As many of you can tell, I am not an English Major. I love writing, but always found grammar to be boring and limiting. It kicks me in the butt these days as I edit my work... Funny thing is much of what I learned in school no longer holds true. I feel so betrayed!
I am a lover of the underdog. I was bullied when I was young and it has shaped me into the person I am now. I'm lucky I survived those years, some kids don't. My heart goes out to all the people suffering the scars of such treatment. Now that I have had time to reflect, my heart goes out to the bullies, too. They must be hurting units to treat others so cruelly. I will always cheer for the underdog, because they are the true winners in life.
I am a person who has made mistakes, some of them pretty big. Yet, I can't regret them because they have led me to this point and I am grateful to be where I am. I firmly believe if we learn from our mistakes and move forward then we have nothing to regret.
I am a lover of sex. Yes, there I said it. I really do. More now than ever. Writing and reading erotica will do that to a person. ;) For me personally, it has to be in a committed relationship. I can't even kiss a guy and enjoy it unless I love him - I've always been that weird. In fact, I was afraid I was meant for nunnery early on because I was such a cold fish. Turns out, if I am going to give myself away its ALL the way, Baby - heart, body, mind and soul.
So, who is Red Phoenix? Just a fellow woman following her heart ~ no different than you. :)

Aww... Michelle! You are my pick-me-up! I just want to wrap you in a pink bow and take you home. :)
ReplyDeleteAfter reading one of your stories for free, I was hooked. And now I can't stop spending my money reading them! My usual genre to read and write is urban fantasy. I love your characters and the passion that just flies off of the pages.
ReplyDeleteThanks DrRoslyn! I am always grateful when people take the time to comment. Being a fellow writer, I am sure you have heard the golden rule "show not tell". Well, I decided I would apply that to the erotic scene. None of that skimming over nonsense because we all want to feel what the character is feeling.
DeleteI wish you much success and thank you for reading my work!

I agree whole heartedly about committed relationships. PS I love your Brie books. She is very normal and relatable =)
ReplyDeleteGreat to know I'm not the only one who needs the commitment to release the inner animal. :) I am glad you find Brie relatable. I like that she has an independent spirit which finds harmony in submitting.
DeleteThank you for sharing. We are a result of our past but do not need to be ruled by it. Glad for your life since it produces such enjoyable works. We have a simple deal ...You write and I will read. Love and ((hugs))
